   Summary: Spirited Away
My eleven year old daughter loves this video, but she was really upset that it took so long to get here--I can't believe you guys can't do better than eight days from Springfield, Mass. to Jaffrey, NH. I can drive it in about two hours. As a matter of fact, after a week, I mentioned that to my daugher, and she asked if we could "please drive down and pick it up" ourselves.

My previous experience with Amazon has always been extremely positive. Too bad this one kinda sticks out.

   Summary: God blessed the world with Miyazaki
Another example of the brilliance that is Muyazaki. Whether listened to in the original Japanese or the English dub, a lovely, family centric film that teaches us all a positive message.

   Summary: Very pretty to look at, but somewhat confusing
I am not a fan of Japanese Anime. Though visually, they all look great and unique, the story plot is somewhat confusing for those not familiar with the genre. Spirited Away has it's great moments. The creatures are interesting and again, the visual effects are truly eye opening. However, at times, the movie just spirals into a completely different plot and you almost have to get your bearings about what is going on. It jumps and gets pretty weird at times. My husband, who is a fan, explained that alot of anime movies are shot like this. He actually told me that 'Crouching Dragon, Hidden Dragon' is basically a live-action Anime film. Like I said, it gets pretty odd at times and young kids may not understand alot of what is going on. It is better geared for the older crowd who can better appreciate the story.

   Summary: I was definetly 'spirited away'
Who knew that someone could tie together anime, fantasy, love, and tons of imagination into 125 minutes? Well it was very much possible. I give props out the Miyazaki-san, because this is one of his greatest achievements.

First.
The characters are wonderfully depicted. The protagonist, Chihiro, has the greatest personality that a twelve year old (I think) could POSSIBLY have. Growing up, I'm guessing, she was probably either spoiled or ignored terribly. And when she's suddenly thrown into this world were she finds that she has to take care of herself, she shapes up. She steps-up to the challenge of surviving in a magical world when she, unconsciously, falls in love with the river spirit, Haku. And vise versa, Haku begins at the other end of the rope and has to learn how to be a child again. Having no memories of who he is or where he came from, Haku is just one emotional blank. And that is what draws Chihiro to him. From the moment they met in the spirit world, she realizes that Haku is always going to be there when she needs him, and all while Haku himself showed immediate concern for her safety and later on doesn't hesitate to help her once she becomes trapped there.

Second.
The colors and animation blend together so beautifully it is shocking. The movement of the characters, the music and the scenery is depicted so well. If you read it as a book or a manga series, there would be no doubt in your mind that the way the story is portrayed and visualized, would be how you imagined it when you read it.

Third.
The storyline is amazingly written very well for an animation based film. Love, regret, hopelessness, trust and friendships are just a few of the themes that underline this movie.

This is an excellent film, and I recommend it to people of all ages.
